We CALL call the attention of our
readers to the notice Of Mr.. Frank j.
Roberson's which appears in this issue.
Mr.. Robertson has recently finished his
education in the art schools of Europe
and he is DESTROYS Of giving to such as
desire it, the benefit of his knowledge.
He has number of the creations of his
pencil and brush that give evidence of
his talent anJ genius as an artist. We
advise the lovers of art to attend his
exhibition Tuesday afternoon at his
studio, No. 533 West Seventh street, and
they will be fully repaid for their trouble
as the specimens are very fine. No ad-
mission fee is charged and all who feel
interest enough to visit his studio will
be welcome.
TIE most delightful social affair of the
week was the initial soiree dansante of
the Little Four Club at the residence of
Mr.. Il. Fl. Griswold on Sixth street on
Wednesday evening. The young folks
wore superb toilets and served supper a
la buffet and had a grand time. There
were present Misses Rena Bradbury,
Ila Tyler, Melinda Fogg, Lizzie Roach,
Leena Landre, Lulu Griswold, Nellie
Griswold, Cora jackson of Oberlin,
Ohio, Masters w. H. Landre, A. D.
Adams, Milton Fogg, Jr., and the Little
Four, W. Il. Francis, j. A. Dover, G. H.
Fogg, FLA. Jones. Among the children
of larger growth were Mr.. and Mrs. j.
K. Hilyard Mr.. and Mrs. W. A. Hilyard,
Mesdames Milton Fogg, J. H. Jackson,
Lotto Roach, Misses Maggie Fogg,
Mary Godett, Messrs. George Harrison
and J. @. Adams.
Mr.. W, A. HAZEL seems to be the
victim of bad luck. Friday he came
down from Minneapolis to attend his
suit against Foley Bros. for refusing him
accommodations at their hotel, and feel
ing hungry he went to McVeigh's bak-
cry and lnnch room on Third street, and
gave an order for some wheat cakes and
coffee. The order was filed and also
filled with salt. Mr.. Hazel complained
to the clerk or proprietor but he offered
no remedy. It is very plain why this
outrage was perpetrated. How long
will the Colored citizens of st. Paul SUBJ
NIT to these outrages? If there is any
place where a Civil Rights League is
needed this seems to be the place Let us
and prosecute these men who
heap insults and injuries upon US. In
union there is strength. A Civil Rights
League has been formed in Cincinnati,
which has prosecuted several cases and
never lost one. We can do the same.
Mrs. J. J. WILEY with some other
lady friends were out Monday evening
in the crowd endeavoring to see the
President. AS everyone knows the jam
was terrible and the ladies were crowd
ed against some big burly white men,
who true to their low training began to
make insulting remarks, which Mrs.
Wiley resented when her patience was
worn threadbare. OF course this only
incensed the white brutes and they said
the more. About this time some over
otficious, but cowardly policeman ap-
peared upon the scene and seeing Mrs.
Wiley was Colored, at once arrested her
but made no attempt to arrest the burly
who had insulted
her, because they were white
and he was prejudiced coward.
The charge of "d1unk and disorderly''
was preferred against Mrs. Wiley. Mr..
j. H. LOOMS had been asked by Mrs.
Wiley to look after the case the next
morning and he had it postponed until
Wednesday when Mrs. Wiley was dis
charged, it being clearly proven that the
charges against her were false. Mr..
LOOMS is to be congratulated upon win
ming his first case at the Minnesota bar.
1t is worthy of notice that the police
men of this city are very eager to arrest
Colorsd People, whom they in their in
telligent (?) minds have shadow of sus-
picion of, and often, with no other rea-
son than that they are Colored. This
thing must be stopped. We wish all
criminals, black or white, to be punish
ed, but we do not wish to be subjected
to these outrages atthe hands of these ig-
norant Doors, whose prejudices out
weigh all sense of justice and right.
